A few weeks ago, I spoke with Anne McElvoy for her BBC Radio series ‘British Liberalism: The Grand Tour’ about Adam Smith and the Whigs. I really enjoyed our conversation! Listen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06r50wn

Amanda Foreman

Amanda Foreman is the author of the prize-winning best sellers, ‘Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire', and 'A World on Fire: A Epic History of Two Nations Divided'. In 2016, Foreman served as chair of The Man Booker Prize. That same year, her BBC documentary series, 'The Ascent of Woman', was released.

Currently, she is a columnist for The Wall Street Journal bi-weekly ‘Historically Speaking’ and an Honorary Research Senior Fellow in the History Department at the University of Liverpool. Her next book, ‘The World Made by Women: A History of Women from the Apple to the Pill’, is scheduled to be published by Penguin Random House in 2022.

She is a co-founder of the literary charity, House of SpeakEasy, a trustee of the Whiting Foundation, and the Board Chair of The Feminist Institute.

Coming in 2022

The World Made By Women: a narrative history of women from prehistory to present day. It is time for the history of women to break free from the straight jacket of Women's History. The history of women is the history of the world.
